I love all things pithy and witty. Quotes fill that bill. I used to keep a running list of them on my Blogger blog. Once I moved over to my new WordPress design, I let that be a piece that fell away, though I use quotes all the time in my posts. I love to go back and review my list of quotes – they give me inspiration, counsel, and comfort.
Kevin Kelley writes a fantastic uber-blog of all of his writing called Lifestream. He’s a tech guru who has a knack for making technology applicable to a wide variety of people. He’s also a killer writer, funny, and a fan of quotes. Yesterday, he put up a post with some of his favorite quotes. My favorite comes from Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s 2007 TED speech: “With 300 million people in America, you can fail to impress 299 million of them and still go platinum.” The power of perspective. With that bent, having an idea go platinum seems more probable and possible.
